Benefits of Convection Cooking:

—Foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
—Multiple rack baking.
—No special pans or bakeware needed.

General Cooking Instructions:

For Baking:

1.

For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

2.

Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s
instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

3.

 When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in oven rack positions 2 & 5 for best results (See Fig. 2)

Note:

 Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Bake feature.

For Roasting:

1.

Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods with the Convection feature

.

2.

Since the 

Convection

 feature cooks food  faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your

recipe. Increase the time until the desired doneness is obtained.

Note:

 Cook time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

How Convection Cooking works 

(some models)

Convection Cooking

 uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and

continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast,
even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when
using two racks at the same time (See Fig. 1).

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Meats cooked using the 

Convection

 feature are juicer. Poultry is crisp on

the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. Breads and pastry
brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked
faster and more evenly using the 

Convection

 feature.

Important Notes:

The Convection feature will not activate if the Bake temperature is

 set below 300°F

.

The Convection fan will take 6 minutes to begin rotating once the Convection switch
